0.01UF 50V ZF - What does ZF mean?

(1/3) > >>

requim:
I need to replace a few caps on a receiver and the service manual species the following:

0.01UF 50V ZF
0.1UF 50V ZF

What does the ZF stand for?

Psi:
I think it maybe another way of saying the temperature coefficient of Z5V

There are some graphs here which have Z5V(ZF)      Y5E(YA)    Y5P(YB)    Z5U(ZE)
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/68640250/ARITEC-Ceramic-Capacitor-TABLE-OF-CONTENTS

Also this table seems to back that up. It looks like there are three naming schemes  EIA / JIS / GB


It does seem odd though because Z5V isn't a high spec cap, far from it. It's pretty bad in fact.
So why anyone would label something as needing to be that type of cap is a bit weird.

I'm sure someone will know for sure what it means

hacklordsniper:
It means it should be a 105 oC rated capacitor.

requim:
So if I order a 5% part @ 125C then I should be fine, right?

Yes, even better than manufacturer reccomended specs
